Background: Malignant vasovagal syncope (VVS) is characterized by cardiac arrest lasting more than 3 seconds during a syncope episode or head-up tilt test (HUTT). We aim to conduct a risk assessment for potential malignant VVS before the HUTT by using economic, simple and convenient demographic data, in order to prevent adverse outcomes for pediatric VVS.Purpose: To explore the correlation between demographic factors and pediatric malignant VVS, and verify the value of these factors in early risk assessment for malignant VVS before HUTT, so as to optimize test safety and reduce adverse events. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 3,734 children who were initially diagnosed with VVS due to unexplained syncope and presyncope. Finally, 122 children who met the diagnostic criteria for malignant VVS were included in the malignant VVS group, and 661 children who did not meet the criteria during the same period were matched as the control group. By analyzing demographic data and other factors, we attempted to clarify the association between these factors and malignant VVS. Results: Linear relationship: age and body mass index (BMI) have independent protective effects on malignant VVS. For every 1-year increase in age and every 1 kg/m2 increase in BMI, the risk of malignant VVS decreases by 12% and 9%, respectively. Nonlinear relationship: When the age is <12.9 years old, for every additional year of age, the risk of malignant VVS decreases by 20%. For ages 12.9 years and above, the efficacy is not significant. There is no significant nonlinear relationship between BMI and malignant VVS. Conclusion Age and BMI are independent protective factors for pediatric malignant VVS. Before the age of 12.9 years, the incidence of malignant VVS gradually decreases with the increase in age, and thereafter there is no significant impact.

ObjectiveAs a common lifestyle habit, alcohol consumption has a controversial association with the onset of Parkinson’s disease (PD). To demonstrate the correlation between alcohol consumption and PD and to identify associated genes, we integrated findings from clinical surveys, genomics, transcriptomics, and animal experiments. MethodsWe investigated the alcohol consumption rates (including both before and after disease onset) among 244 PD patients in China and 177 PD patients from the U.S. NHANES database. Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was performed using genome-wide association study (GWAS) data for three alcohol-related traits and seven PD-related datasets from the MRC IEU OpenGWAS database. Transcriptomic data from the substantia nigra of PD patients were obtained from three GEO datasets (GSE7621, GSE20141, and GSE49036) to analyze RIT2 gene transcription. Finally, three groups of animal experiments (water/20% ethanol/20% liquor, with 4 C57BL/6J mice per group) were conducted to examine changes in brain RIT2 gene expression and transcriptomic profiles following alcohol consumption. ResultsThe alcohol consumption rates among PD patients in China and the U.S. (9%-18.87%) were significantly lower than the general population rates of 15%-45% in their respective regions (P<0.001), suggesting a possible negative association between alcohol consumption and PD. Subsequently, in 21 bidirectional MR analyses using 3 alcohol-related GWAS datasets and 7 PD-related GWAS datasets, the forward MR analyses (alcohol intake as exposure, PD as outcome) yielded 12 negative associations (OR_IVW<1) and 9 positive associations (OR_IVW>1). Among these, only two negative associations reached statistical significance: alcohol intake frequency (OR_IVW=0.75, 95% CI: 0.60-0.93, P=0.010) and alcohol consumption (OR_IVW=0.20, 95% CI: 0.05-0.83, P=0.026). The forward MR analysis (alcohol intake→PD) identified 235 SNPs, annotated to 316 genes, while the reverse MR analyses (PD→alcohol intake) identified 37 SNPs, annotated to 53 genes. Notably, only the RIT2 gene appeared in both the forward and reverse MR analyses (alcohol intake→PD: rs28597806, rs8083110; PD→alcohol intake: rs4588066). RIT2 is selectively expressed in the human brain (FPKM: 5.259±2.103), with low or no expression in peripheral tissues (FPKM: <1). Analysis of three human substantia nigra transcriptomic datasets revealed a decreasing trend in RIT2 gene expression in PD patients (GSE20141 array signal: 3.49±1.23 vs. 2.33±0.87, P=0.044). Animal experiments demonstrated that administration of 20% ethanol or 20% liquor (approximately 8% ethanol) stimulated a >2-fold upregulation of RIT2 gene expression in the mouse brain. Furthermore, transcriptomic sequencing revealed that the two alcohol-treated groups exhibited 96 (20% ethanol vs. water control) and 4 (20% liquor vs. water control) differentially expressed genes, respectively, indicating that low-dose alcohol consumption can achieve RIT2 upregulation while minimizing impact on other brain genes. In addition to its anti-infective effects, low-dose alcohol consumption primarily influences signaling pathways related to neurodegenerative diseases such as PD and Prion diseases. ConclusionAlcohol consumption is generally considered as a harmful lifestyle habit. However, some studies have also shown a lower risk of mortality among individuals who consume low doses of alcohol (100 g/week of ethanol) or drink occasionally. Currently, one of the research focuses on alcohol consumption is whether the human body can benefit from low-dose alcohol intake. This study provides new evidence supporting a negative association between alcohol consumption and PD, and for the first time, through MR analysis, identifies the RIT2 gene as a potential mediator of the effect of alcohol consumption on PD. RIT2 is selectively expressed in the human brain. Building upon existing evidence indicating downregulated RIT2 gene expression in PD pathogenesis, our experiments confirm that low-dose alcohol consumption can upregulate RIT2 expression in the brain. In brief, alcohol consumption may suppress the pathogenesis of PD by upregulating RIT2 expression in the substantia nigra. China is facing a serious problem of population aging. This study offers important insights for long-term PD prevention and treatment strategies, with the aim of benefiting more potential PD patients through lifestyle modifications, thereby improving the quality of life of the aging population and reducing the economic burden on healthcare.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism by which Shaoyaotang regulates the miRNA-155-mediated suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 （SOCS1）/Janus kinase 1 （JAK1）/signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 （STAT1） signaling pathway and thereby affects macrophage polarization. MethodsThe cell-counting kit-8 （CCK-8） assay was used to detect the effect of drug-containing serum of Shaoyaotang at different concentrations on the viability of RAW 264.7 cells. A cell model of inflammation was established by stimulating RAW264.7 cells with lipopolysaccharide （LPS） at a concentration of 10 mg·L^-1 The modeled cells were assigned by the random number table method into seven groups： LPS-induced M1 polarization （model）， M1+miRNA-155 mimics， M1+miRNA-155 inhibitor， M1+Shaoyaotang-containing serum， M1+miRNA-155 mimics+Shaoyaotang-containing serum， M1+miRNA-155 inhibitor+Shaoyaotang-containing serum， and M1+blank serum. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was employed to measure the levels of inflammatory factors ［tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， and interleukin-1β （IL-1β）］. Immunofluorescence assay was used to detect the expression of macrophage polarization markers ［inducible nitric oxide synthase （iNOS） and macrophage mannose receptor 1 （CD206）］. Real-time PCR was employed to measure the expression of miRNA-155 in cells. Western blot was performed to determine the protein levels of SOCS1， STAT1， and JAK1. ResultsCompared with the LPS-induced M1 polarization （model） group， the M1+miRNA-155 mimics group showed up-regulated expression of miRNA-155， JAK1， STAT1， TNF-α， IL-6， IL-1β， and iNOS （P<0.05） and down-regulated expression of CD206 （P<0.05）. In both the M1+miRNA-155 inhibitor group and the M1+Shaoyaotang-containing serum group， the expression levels of miRNA-155， JAK1， STAT1， TNF-α， IL-6， IL-1β， and iNOS were down-regulated （P<0.05）， while those of SOCS1 and CD206 were up-regulated （P<0.05）. Compared with the M1+miRNA-155 mimics group， the M1+miRNA-155 mimics+Shaoyaotang-containing serum group showed down-regulated expression of miRNA-155， JAK1， STAT1， TNF-α， IL-6， IL-1β， and iNOS （P<0.05） and up-regulated expression of SOCS1 and CD206 （P<0.05）. Compared with the M1+miRNA-155 inhibitor group， the M1+miRNA-155 inhibitor+Shaoyaotang-containing serum group showed down-regulated expression of miRNA-155， JAK1， STAT1， TNF-α， IL-6， IL-1β， and iNOS （P<0.05） and up-regulated expression of SOCS1 and CD206 （P<0.05）. ConclusionShaoyaotang regulates macrophage polarization by modulating miRNA-155 expression and interfering with the SOCS1/JAK1/STAT1 signaling pathway. The findings provide new experimental evidence for the treatment of ulcerative colitis with Shaoyaotang.

ObjectiveTo investigate the potential role and underlying mechanisms of Shaoyaotang in intervening macrophage glycolytic reprogramming in ulcerative colitis （UC）. MethodsForty-eight C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into six groups： Normal control group， model group， mesalazine group （0.39 g·kg^-1）， Shaoyaotang group （15.54 g·kg^-1）， 2-deoxy-D-glucose （2-DG） group （glycolysis inhibitor， 100 mg·kg^-1）， and 2-DG + Shaoyaotang combined group （100 mg·kg^-1+15.54 g·kg^-1）. Except for the normal control group， mice in the other five groups were induced to establish UC models using dextran sulfate sodium （DSS）. The normal control group was administered pure water via intragastric gavage， while the other groups received intragastric gavage of mesalazine solution， intragastric gavage of Shaoyaotang， and the 2-DG group was treated with 2-DG via intraperitoneal injection. After 7 consecutive days of treatment， colonic tissues were extracted. Hematoxylin and eosin （HE） staining was performed to evaluate histopathological changes and tissue injury in the colon. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was used to detect the expression of interleukin-10 （IL-10） and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） in colonic tissues. Western blot analysis was employed to determine the expression levels of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α （HIF-1α）， glucose transporter （GLUT1）， lactate dehydrogenase A （LDHA）， pyruvate kinase M2 （PKM2）， and 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2，6-biphosphatase 3 （PFKFB3） in colonic tissues. Immunofluorescence was conducted to detect the expression of CD206 and inducible nitric oxide synthase （iNOS） in colonic tissues. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry （LC-MS） was utilized to measure lactate and citrate levels in colonic tissues. ResultsCompared with the normal control group， mice in the model group exhibited a significant increase in disease activity index （DAI） scores， accompanied by colonic mucosal congestion， edema， and inflammatory cell infiltration， significantly elevated expression of the inflammatory cytokine TNF-α （P<0.05）， significantly decreased IL-10 expression （P<0.05）， significantly increased levels of HIF-1α， GLUT1， LDHA， PKM2， and PFKFB3 in colonic tissues （P<0.05）， markedly elevated iNOS expression （P<0.05）， significantly decreased CD206 expression （P<0.05）， and significantly elevated lactate and citrate levels in colonic tissues （P<0.05）. In contrast to the model group， the Shaoyaotang group， inhibitor group， and Shaoyaotang combined with inhibitor group demonstrated amelioration of mucosal injury in colonic tissues， markely decreased expression levels of the inflammatory cytokine TNF-α （P<0.05）， elevated IL-10 expression levels， significantly decreased expression of HIF-1α， GLUT1， LDHA， PKM2， and PFKFB3 （P<0.05）， markedly reduced iNOS expression levels （P<0.05）， significantly increased CD206 expression （P<0.05） and significantly decreased lactate and citrate levels （P<0.05）. ConclusionShaoyaotang ameliorates symptoms of DSS-induced UC in mice， and its therapeutic mechanism may be associated with regulating macrophage glycolytic reprogramming via modulation of the HIF-1α signaling pathway.

ObjectiveTo investigate the role of microRNA-155-5p （miR-155-5p） in ulcerative colitis （UC） and study the molecular mechanism of Shaoyaotang in the treatment of UC by regulating miR-155-5p. MethodsForty-eight SPF-grade male C57BL/6 mice were selected and assigned via the random number table method into 6 groups （n=8）： A blank control group， a model group， a mesalazine （0.39 g·kg^-1） group， a Shaoyaotang （31.08 g·kg^-1） group， a Janus kinase 1 （JAK1） inhibitor （baricitinib， 10 mg·kg^-1） group， and a Shaoyaotang combined with inhibitor （baricitinib 10 mg·kg^-1 + Shaoyaotang 31.08 g·kg^-1） group. After successful modeling of UC by gavage of 3% dextran sulphate sodium solution， each group received corresponding drug intervention for 7 days. Shaoyaotang and mesalazine were administered by gavage， and baricitinib by intraperitoneal injection. Twenty-four hours after the last administration， mice were anesthetized by intraperitoneal injection of pentobarbital sodium， and blood was collected for determination of white blood cell count and erythrocyte sedimentation rate （ESR）. Mice were then sacrificed for measurement of colon length. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe colonic pathological changes and perform pathological scoring. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was employed to determine the relative expression of miR-155-5p in the colonic tissue， and Western blot was used to determine the protein levels of JAK1， phosphorylated JAK1 （p-JAK1）， suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 （SOCS1）， signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 （STAT1）， and phosphorylated STAT1 （p-STAT1）. ResultsCompared with the blank control group， the model group showed increased disease activity index （DAI） score and pathological score， shortened colon， upregulated relative expression of miR-155-5p and protein levels of p-JAK1 and p-STAT1， downregulated protein level of SOCS1 in the colonic tissue， prolonged time of erythrocyte sedimentation， and increased white blood cell count （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， all drug-treated groups exhibited improvements in the above indicators （P<0.01）. Moreover， the Shaoyaotang group showed better therapeutic effects than the mesalazine group in regulating miR-155-5p expression， related protein levels， DAI score， and colonic pathological score （P<0.01）. ConclusionShaoyaotang may downregulate miR-155-5p to relieve its inhibition on SOCS1， thereby suppressing the excessive activation of the JAK1/STAT1 signaling pathway and ultimately alleviating intestinal inflammatory damage.

Objective To analyze the mediating role of coping styles on the relationship between psychological resilience and somatic symptoms in Chinese medical team members. Methods A total of 267 members from 24 Chinese medical teams were recruited as the study subjects using a convenience sampling method. The 10-item Connor Davidson Resilience Scale, the Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire, and the modified Somatic Symptom Scale developed by the research team were used to assess their psychological resilience, coping styles, and somatic symptoms. Structural equation modeling was applied to analyze the relationships among the variables and their mediating effects. Results The average scores for psychological resilience, positive coping, and negative coping among the study subjects were (30.4±5.9), (28.6±5.6), and (12.3±4.7) points, respectively. The median and the 25th and 75th percentiles of somatic symptom score were 4.0 (1.0-8.0) points. Somatic symptom scores were negatively correlated with psychological resilience and positive coping scores [Spearman correlation coefficients (r_S) were -0.396 and -0.367, respectively, both P<0.01], and positively correlated with negative coping scores (r_S=0.260, P<0.01). Structural equation modeling analysis revealed that the psychological resilience did not directly affect somatic symptoms [95% confidence interval (CI): -0.359 to 0.000]. Psychological resilience indirectly affected somatic symptoms through positive and negative coping, with a total indirect effect with 95% CI of -0.381 to -0.114. Positive coping and negative coping accounted for 83.7% and 16.3%, respectively, of the total indirect effect. Conclusion The coping styles play multiple parallel mediating roles between psychological resilience and somatic symptoms of Chinese medical team members. Improving psychological resilience and coping ability can help alleviate somatic symptoms and promote the mental health of Chinese medical team members.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism by which Luoshi Neiyi prescription treats endometriosis （EMs） through the Toll-like receptor 4 （TLR4）/nuclear factor-κB （NF-κB） signaling pathway. MethodsAnimal experiments were conducted with 50 female SD rats， which were randomized into a sham operation group （10 rats） and a modeling group （40 rats）. An autologous endometrial transplantation method was used for the modeling of EMs. The 36 successfully modeled rats were randomly allocated into four groups （n=9 each）： The model group， the low-dose （7.87 g·kg^-1） Luoshi Neiyi prescription group， the high-dose （15.74 g·kg^-1） Luoshi Neiyi prescription group， and the dienogest （0.20 mg·kg^-1） group. The physiological status and ectopic lesion volumes of rats in each group were observed. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was used to observe the morphology of the eutopic endometrial tissue. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was employed to measure the levels of inflammatory factors including interleukin-1β （IL-1β） and prostaglandin E₂ （PGE₂） in the serum of EMs rats. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 （MMP-9） and vascular endothelial growth factor A （VEGFA） in the eutopic endometrial tissue. Western blot was adopted to determine the protein levels of TLR4， myeloid differentiation factor 88 （MyD88）， phosphorylated nuclear factor-κB （p-NF-κB）/NF-κB， MMP-9， and VEGFA in the eutopic endometrial tissue. In the cell experiments， the cell-counting kit-8 （CCK-8） assay was employed to screen the optimal concentration of Luoshi Neiyi prescription-containing serum， and a scratch assay was performed to assess the migration ability of iheESCs cells. Interventions with Luoshi Neiyi prescription-containing serum， resatorvid （TAK-242， a TLR4 inhibitor）， and lipopolysaccharides （LPS， a TLR4 agonist） were conducted， and Western blot was used to detect the expression of proteins related to the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway. ResultsThis experiment successfully replicated 36 EMs rat models. Compared with the sham operation group， the model group exhibited visible ectopic lesions on the abdominal wall and an increase in the writhing response score （P<0.01）. Furthermore， HE staining revealed the model group exhibited a thickened eutopic epithelium， stromal cell disarrangement， and evident infiltration of inflammatory cells. In addition， the model group showed elevated serum levels of IL-1β and PGE₂ （P<0.05， P<0.01）， increased positive expression of MMP-9 and VEGFA in the ectopic endometrial tissue （P<0.01）， and up-regulated protein levels of TLR4， MyD88， p-NF-κB/NF-κB， MMP-9， and VEGFA in the ectopic endometrial tissue （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， all treatment groups exhibited a reduction in the ectopic lesion volume （P<0.01）. Furthermore， the writhing response scores were decreased in the high-dose Luoshi Neiyi prescription group and the dienogest group （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The pathological state of the ectopic endometrial tissue was alleviated to varying degrees in the treatment groups. Low-dose Luoshi Neiyi prescription reduced serum PGE₂ levels， and high-dose Luoshi Neiyi prescription and dienogest decreased serum IL-1β and PGE₂ levels in EMs rats （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The treatment groups showed decreased positive expression of MMP-9 and VEGFA in the ectopic endometrial tissue （P<0.05， P<0.01） and down-regulated protein levels of TLR4， MyD88， p-NF-κB/NF-κB， MMP-9， and VEGFA in the ectopic endometrial tissue （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The cell experiments showed that 5%， 10%， and 20% Luoshi Neiyi prescription-containing sera significantly reduced the viability and inhibited the migration of iheESCs. Compared with the control group， 5%， 10%， and 20% Luoshi Neiyi prescription-containing serum groups and the TAK-242 group showed reduced protein levels of TLR4， MyD88， p-NF-κB/NF-κB， MMP-9， and VEGFA （P<0.01）. Compared with the control group， the LPS group showed increased expression of the above proteins （P<0.01）. Compared with the LPS group， the LPS+5%， 10%， and 20% Luoshi Neiyi prescription-containing serum groups showed reduced expression of the above proteins （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionLuoshi Neiyi prescription may modulate the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway to reduce the inflammatory response and histopathological damage in the eutopic endometrium and suppress the adhesive， invasive， and angiogenic biological processes in the ectopic endometrial tissue， thereby exerting its therapeutic effect on EMs.

Mental state is an important part of the normal life activities of the human body, and it is also the most external expression and the most easily obtained information of the physical condition. The normal activities of the mind depend on the normal operation of the viscera, qi, and blood, and are a unified whole that prospers together and suffers together. The theory of the five-spirit-viscera in the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic revealed that the normal mental activities of the human body were dominated by the five internal organs, that is, the five internal organs were the body and the five spirits were the function. And it highlighted the viewpoint that the five internal organs store the spirits and are actually one. The heart governs the spirit and belongs to the four internal organs. On this basis, Synopsis of Golden Chamber used the internal organs to diagnose and treat mental diseases, integrating the theory of the five spirits into it, forming a unique method of diagnosis and treatment with the heart as the leading factor and regulating the qi and blood of the four internal organs. It identified the pathogenesis of diseases such as pathogenic crying, lily disease, and hysteria from five levels: heart deficiency and weak qi, heart-lung disharmony, heart-liver disharmony, the heart of the loss of the spleen nourishment, and disharmony between heart and kidney. The treatment was mainly to replenish the deficiency of the viscera and eliminate the pathogens, reflecting the characteristics of regulating the mind and calming the four internal organs. This unique view on diagnosis and treatment has profoundly influenced the diagnosis and treatment theories of mental illnesses by later doctors, and is of great significance to the current clinical treatment of such illnesses.

ObjectiveThe U6 promoter is an essential element for driving sgRNA expression in the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat sequences/CRISPR-associated protein 9（CRISPR/Cas9）gene editing system in dicotyledonous plants. Endogenous U6 promoters typically exhibit higher transcriptional activity， which can significantly improve gene editing efficiency. This study aims to identify endogenous U6 promoters in Artemisia annua to optimize its CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing system， which holds significant importance for its molecular breeding. MethodsOn the basis of the highly conserved U6 snRNA sequences in Arabidopsis thaliana， endogenous U6 promoters were screened in the A. annua genome. Expression vectors were constructed with candidate AaU6 promoter driving the firefly luciferase （LUC） reporter gene， and then transiently transformed into Nicotiana benthamiana. Transcriptional activities of the promoters were measured and compared by in vivo imaging and the Dual Luciferase Reporter assay. ResultsEight endogenous U6 promoters were successfully cloned from A. annua. Sequences alignment revealed that all these promoters contained the two conserved cis-acting elements， upstream sequence element （USE） and TATA-box， which affected their transcriptional activity. Dual-luciferase activity assays indicated that the transcriptional activities of AaU6-3， AaU6-1， and AaU6-5 were significantly higher than that of the Arabidopsis AtU6-26 promoter， with AaU6-3 exhibiting the highest activity. ConclusionThis study identified three endogenous AaU6 promoters with high transcriptional activity in A. annua， providing key functional elements for establishing an efficient gene editing system in A. annua. These findings will contribute to advancing precision molecular breeding and high-quality germplasm innovation in A. annua.

In recent years， as the incidence of ulcerative colitis （UC） is growing， intestinal mucosal injury has garnered increasing attention， and it is characterized by high recurrence， risk of inflammation-cancer transformation， and difficulty in repair. Intestinal mucosal injury in UC is centered on persistent inflammation and barrier dysfunction， with its pathological mechanisms involving endoplasmic reticulum stress （ERS）-mediated changes such as abnormal apoptosis， abnormal autophagy， and inflammatory responses. ERS induces apoptosis of intestinal epithelial cells， disrupts tight junction proteins， and exacerbates inflammatory responses through pathways such as protein kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase （PERK）， inositol-requiring enzyme 1 alpha （IRE1α）， and activating transcription factor 6 （ATF6）， ultimately causing intestinal mucosal injury. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has a long history of research on UC. The theory of sores depending on spleen-earth holds that spleen deficiency is the fundamental cause of UC， while pathological products such as dampness-turbidity and blood stasis are the secondary manifestations. Dysfunction of the spleen-earth leads to insufficient production and transformation of Qi and blood， malnutrition of the intestinal mucosa， and invasion of external pathogens. In the active phase of UC， spleen deficiency is often accompanied by excessive pathogenic factors such as dampness-heat and heat-toxin， leading to acute intestinal mucosal damage. In the remission phase， however， it is mainly characterized by spleen deficiency and healthy Qi deficiency， accompanied by residual pathogens， resulting in weak intestinal mucosal repair. Studies have shown that the endoplasmic reticulum， as a key site for protein synthesis and folding， has functions highly similar to the TCM concept of the spleen governing transportation and transformation. From a TCM perspective， the endoplasmic reticulum can be regarded as the carrier of spleen transportation， and ERS is a microcosmic manifestation of spleen dysfunction， leading to intestinal mucosal injury. ERS impairs the structure and function of the endoplasmic reticulum， induces the generation of abnormal Qi， and triggers pathological changes， making inflammation difficult to be reduced and causing the aggravation of ERS， forming a vicious cycle of spleen deficiency-pathological products-intestinal injury. TCM has unique advantages in regulating ERS to prevent and treat intestinal mucosal injury. According to the theory of sores depending on spleen-earth and the modern medical understanding of ERS， this paper delves into the TCM and Western medicine pathogenesis of intestinal mucosal injury in UC. Furthermore， this paper discusses the roles of TCM active components and compound formulas in reducing intestinal mucosal injury in UC by regulating ERS under the guidance of the treatment principles of invigorating the spleen and replenishing Qi as the key and dispelling dampness and removing blood stasis as the supplementation， aiming to provide new ideas and methods for the prevention and treatment of UC.
